The MOOC will provide participants with an insight into the rapidly developing impact and intersection of Social Media, AI and the Law. The course will offer an overview of recent advancements, delving into issues surrounding liability, regulation, privacy and data protection, social media bans, cybercrime and e-commerce. It will also explore the considerable impact on our work environment and daily lives, including digital manipulation and surveillance.  

The MOOC is a free online course that is open to all and specifically designed for large numbers to participate. To date, the Diploma Centre’s MOOCs have attracted over 40,000 participants from over 115 countries since they first launched in 2014. Such courses feature online recorded and streamed presentations, together with interactive discussion forums that allow participants to engage directly with our expert presenters.

This course is open to everyone and anyone who has a general interest in learning more about AI developments. Participants are not expected to have prior knowledge of the topic, as the course will provide a foundational overview of AI and its impact across various aspects of life. It will be of particular interest to legal professionals, trainees, barristers, students, and those involved in the digital and tech industries, either in a professional or personal capacity. We warmly welcome participants from all walks of life who have an interest in learning more about the intersection of AI and social media, and the evolving impact on individuals, businesses, and wider society.
